P&C claims software · Gretna, LA · bootstrapped 1999
👤 Thomas J. Brown (Ex-P&C adjuster who built a big firm's first claims system (WorlTrac) before founding his own — knew the workflow cold.)🌐 siteLinkedIn

An adjuster who lived Louisiana's hurricanes built the claims software 50 carriers and IA firms now run on.

Will it work? · our read
Depth over breadth. But a 50-account market with storm-lumpy demand caps the upside, and modern InsurTech plus Guidewire-class players are circling the same claims workflow.

Revenue ($4M+ ARR, 50 customers, 18 staff) is founder-disclosed on the 2022 Practical Founders Podcast #10 (host Greg Head's summary of Brown's interview) — first-party but 3+ years old, so likely higher today. Founded-1999, the adjuster background and WorlTrac are from ClickClaims' own bio. The about-$80K/account figure is my arithmetic ($4M / 50), not a stated price [our read]. No fabricated drama — this is a patience-and-insider win, not a plot twist. We never score you.
